Notes

This release is quite peculiar. It’s a label that’s distributed and manufactured by CBS Records, but yet this version has the markings for an RCA Indianapolis, Indiana pressing. The I’s stamped in the runout information look exactly like those coming from this plant.

Runouts are etched except "MASTERED BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE PHILA." & Indianapolis "I" are stamped.
